"The more you learn, the less you know." I saw this paradox a month ago, it just stocked in my mind. I kept thinking about it for so long. When I first saw it, I could not understand this paradox. This made no sense at all, it should be the more you learn, the more you know. After thinking about an hour, I kind of got the meaning behind this paradox. If you think deeper and look inside the words, that actually makes sense. "The more you learn, the less you know." Because when you learn something, you will realized that there are more things to learn. I think that this paradox basically means that we are learning every single day, there are always more things for us to learn. There is a play that I read recently, it's called The Importance of Being Earnest, when I first saw the name, I thought it would be a boring book to read. But after reading it, I changed my perspective. This book is actually fun to read. There are many ironic things in the book, the author uses satire to show the upper class noble in the Victorian Era. There are also many paradox in this book, I really like the way the characters interact with each other. I enjoy reading this play.
